Does STO allow UI mods like WoW does? I would like a DPS meter that I could run in-game and not have to alt+tab between different windows. If so, where could I get it?
Nope. As useful as it would be, no mods of any kind are allowed. Buy a second monitor. :P
I've long wished that cryptic would open up an API for modding the UI like in [other unmentionable games] so we could get some real improvements, but then I remind myself how much spaghetti code powers this game and realize it's for the best since the UI mods would get broken just as often as the base game itself.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
